The only reason to make the store rotation work the way it apparently does is to make people scared they’re going to miss out on something they want because they don’t know when or if they’ll be able to buy it again.


Notice how they only do this when money is on the line. For pinnacle weapons? Yeah, FOMO is bad we are changing it.


Yeah, that's not why they got rid of pinnacle weapons. The power of them was breaking the game.


Oh my bad then. I remember reading Bungie saying FOMO was one of the reasons.

I remember Luke Smith saying in the recent 'state of the game' posts that they dumped 'em because they were too powerful; they became requirements for certain activities instead of offering an interesting alternative.

That doesn't translate to 'FOMO is bad we're changing it' to me. Maybe you've got a different quote?
